Last night (Sunday) there were four fire engines racing up St 57 with sirens screaming. Does anyone know where the fire was? Four months here and that's the first time I've seen that kind of activity.

I heard them, don't know where they went. I live near the station on 360, hear at least one engine out most nights.

18FL, Maple Leaf condominium, Street 57, No.21.

Short-circuit in an electrical room. No one was hurt according to reports.

Thanks. thought it must have been something big to warrant that many. Guess they were prepared for the worst.

Wow! That was a pretty snappy response from CEOCambodiaNews. 16 minutes.

When the plants on the balcony need watering, ,, That's the response that you get.

No ladder or bucket trucks. No equipment to reach the new highrises. Little or no firefighting clothing (flip-flops don't cut it when charging into a fire) and no SCBA (Self Contained Breathing Apparatus.) Tall buildings in PP, an accident looking for a place to happen.

Actually they did send the ladder down.
